Hi Bluebell — Just had a look on ebay and there are some of the 1000 caged plastic containers around the £35 upwards range. Those I looked at had all been used for other purposes. The pastel coloured ones had been used for paint, and the seller said they had been washed but “were not perfect”. Another one had something else in it before which was stressed in the advert.
I am no chemist but would it be safe to use items like this when just water is needed ?
You paid the going rate for your water butts but you have no doubt that what comes out will be pure. Reading the warnings and descriptions on ebay, I am just not sure how useful they would be having been used for deisel or some other difficult to clean out substance.
You will have peace of mind and that is priceless!
Best wishes
